Nearly 200 land and environmental defenders are killed every year for protecting their land and our environment, according to the NGO Global Witness — that’s an average of four people every week. This is four times more than a decade ago.
What is our share of responsibility as consumers and citizens?
How can we act?
La Boîte à Images is producing an ambitious multimedia project in about a dozen countries, focusing on endangered land defenders. The project includes around twenty short video documentaries and fifty photographic portraits.
Together, they aim to form an awareness and advocacy tool for civil society — to shed light on this urgent issue.
